Locator (URL) which is the address of a documents and other resource on

The example is the address string of the link in the previous sentence. The end
of the URL
address string is tagged with #www which
links to a anchor on
the glossary page.
Webopedia.com has information
about the elements of a URL address string. When you
come
to a search dead end or have a problem using The
Network, copying
the URL, otherwise known as a Internet
address, and pasting it
in the memo section of the email you send to ask for delivery on our (who
we
are)
search promise. The promise is an offer of personal assistance as a free service.
A string for an address line is one thing ... a location
identity
string something else entirely. The latter is used to identify a location as
the
word is defined for .network mission use.
You can request free personal
search assistance by email without providing personal
information,
such
as name, address and telephone number, by using a location
identity instead. Doing so means that you help build the The
Network with
one of its primary free-access resources, that of a global list of places
seeking
economic development and their location
data suppliers.

in the GRC using both upper and lower case text which
means
search effeciencey is improved with case
sensitivity. Experiment with the following
FMH Search Tool by copying and pasting Big
Canoe, GA which is the place where the operations of The

insentive to experiment further.

provides the first paragraph of a magazine article or a few words
about a book or paper with a link for obtaining the rest of the
